Palin: Champion Barracuda

"As governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin has championed aerial gunning of wolves and bears. Using powerful images of this needless and brutal practice -- and the indisputable facts about Palin's promotion of it -- we've created a hard-hitting new television ad to educate voters about what Governor Sarah Palin really stands for.

As governor, Sarah Palin...

Proposed paying a $150 bounty for the left foreleg of each dead wolf.

Approved a $400,000 state-funded propaganda campaign to promote aerial hunting.

Introduced legislation to make it even easier to use aircraft to hunt wolves and bears.

Palin and Painful

"The wolf is an intelligent, handsome creature and, for many visitors to Alaska, an integral part of the state’s wild appeal. Wolves live in complex social structures, mate for life and don’t attack humans — it’s easy to see in them the family resemblance to mankind’s best friend.

That’s what makes it so painful to look at the video of an aerial wolfhunt in Alaska that has been circulating since Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was nominated as Sen. John McCain’s running mate on the Republican ticket."

George Bush: Endangered Species

"For more than 30 years, the Endangered Species Act has protected wildlife at risk of extinction. Now the Bush/Cheney Administration wants to make some serious changes to this landmark law -- changes that would eliminate vital checks and balances that are crucial to protect our wolves, polar bears and other imperiled wildlife.

Speak out now for polar bears, wolves and the nearly 1,400 species currently protected under the Endangered Species Act! Fill out the form below to urge your U.S. Representative and Senators to do whatever they can to stop this eleventh-hour assault on protections for our endangered wildlife.

Stop The Killing

God's Beautiful Wolves

Sarah Palin: The Wolves

Sarah Palin, the recently appointed VP of McCain, is the Governor of Alaska.

She has allowed the aerial gunning of wolves and a practice called "denning" whereby a family of wolves in a den is stalked, watched, and when the adults come out, they are shot. The little pups are then shot in the head by the Wildlife service.


"This woman, whether credible or not, is dangerous. We need to get the word out hard, fast and repeatedly to every animal loving republican we know that Ms. Palin offers $150 for left forelegs of wolves.

As a dog lover, I can tell you this more than disgusts me. Her beauty queen exterior belies her cruel interior."

Earthjustice

Thank you for this information, wolfie.


"BREAKING NEWS: At least 37 wolves have been killed in the northern Rockies since federal delisting took effect. Earthjustice, recognizing that our courts are the best chance to reverse this tragic decision, filed its case to stop the killing on April 28. The USFWS failed to take into account basic principles of conservation biology, disregarded its own policies, and departed from past practice in delisting the wolf. Stay tuned for more news...

***

The wolf's amazing comeback in the northern Rockies is one of our country's greatest wildlife success stories. But it may be dangerously short-lived now that the federal government issued a rule that permits wolf killing in the northern Rockies. This decision heralds the beginning of a larger plan to allow large-scale slaughters of more than 80% of the wolf population.

Wolves

I love this video because I love wolves. What beautiful creatures they are. I wanted to share this with all of you. This is especially for you, wolfie.

Wolves, Cats, Turtles, and Dogs

"There is a new way for Houstonians to find a furry friend to join their family, KPRC Local 2 reported Friday.

Comcast has launched a pet adoption channel through their ON DEMAND service available to digital cable customers.

The site features dogs, cats and other animals up for adoption at the Houston SPCA."



If you love wolves, watch this video. Fascinating.


The Cat and the Turtle

Such a sweet story.

Wolves and A Kitty

I found a wonderful new blog today. It's actually perfect because it covers two of my favorite subjects; Jericho and wolves. Be sure to check it out here.



"This is Miss Gypz Jingles. She was once a shelter kitty, then a foster kitty. I adopted her and she adopted me at the end of July last year. We were destined to become family.

This little baby

This is Miss Gypz Jingles. She was once a shelter kitty, then a foster kitty. I adopted her and she adopted me at the end of July last year. We were destined to become family.

This little baby feline teaches me so much. She is the fine example of love, and independence. Her personality is that of curious, social, intellectual and ambitious. Yes, she has ambitions. And, she is quite opinionated."

Help Protect The Wolves

"With last week’s primary wins in Texas and Ohio, Senator John McCain is the last Republican presidential candidate standing.

Unfortunately, one name being circulated as a possible pick for his Vice President is someone who has made the slaughter of wolves a personal goal... first-term Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

Wildlife conservation is not a partisan issue. Tell Governor Palin that you believe that no one should support her in a bid for the Vice Presidency or any office until she cleans up her act."

Please Sign The Petitions

"Ignoring tens of thousands of citizens like you, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has just made it much easier to kill wolves in the Greater Yellowstone and Northern Rockies region -- wolves that still remain protected under the Endangered Species Act.

Take action now. Tell Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne that this rule change is unacceptable.

Wildlife officials will soon be able to shoot, trap and kill endangered wolves. Even those that wander from the safety of Yellowstone National Park and other protected areas could be killed.

This rule change allows officials to start killing wolves as soon as March. Please speak out today!"



"Every year, an estimated four to six million dogs and cats are euthanized in animal care and control facilities in the United States. This problem is pervasive, and it remains a source of shame for our country.

The American Humane Association's Getting to Zero Initiative is a national undertaking based on the profound belief that, within our lifetime, American society can reduce to zero the number of healthy or treatable dogs, cats and other companion animals that are euthanized in animal care and control facilities. "

Pets: Hurt By Foreclosures

"If you’ve been paying attention to the news at all lately, you know people are losing their homes to foreclosure all over the country. People aren’t the only ones being affected for the housing problem though. Pets are being left out in the cold - literally - as their owners leave them behind or drop them off at the local shelter.In Charlotte, NC and El Paso, TX humane societies are dealing with an influx of pets who have been abandoned in their empty homes or have been turned over by their owners when they lost their homes."

Teaching And Learning

"Teaching The World About Wolves"

"The International Wolf Center advances the survival of wolf populations by teaching about wolves, their relationship to wild lands and the human role in their future."



"Welcome to the NEW Yakety Yak Pets, the Pet Community that has everyone talking! What are they talking about? Freedom of speech isn't only for people! Does your dog have something to get off his chest? Does your bird have a secret she wants to share? Does your cat want to sound off? Share pictures, videos, chat and more!"



"Lizzie was getting depressed at the Town Lake Animal Center. After being picked up as a stray in October, the troubled pit bull/terrier mix had spent several weeks at the shelter without being adopted. She was losing weight, growling when anyone approached her toys and even playing in her own waste.

"She was losing it," said Dorinda Pulliam, the shelter's director. "We call it cage crazy, and it really is."

Read the happy ending.

Beautiful Wolves

Few things in life are as beautiful as a wolf.

Please Help The Wolves

"After more than a decade of conservation efforts and millions of federal dollars, wolves are finally returning to the northern Rockies.

Now, the Bush administration plans to remove wolves from the Endangered Species List and allow the states of Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana to wipe out nearly 80 percent of all the wolves remaining in the Northern Rockies!

The Wyoming Plan allows anyone to kill any wolf that wanders outside a small area in the northwest corner of the state. The plan would even target animals that live for most of the year in Yellowstone National Park but only wander out in the winter in search of food.

Tell Congress to oppose the Bush administration�s plans and make sure wolves are protected in the northern Rockies!"
